an-swers I am laughing not at the yellow dogs but at ou I did not vote for any yellow dogs and I am laughing My life if necessary for the support of LiberalBu principles but no vote for the leaders of this burlesque carpet bag parody on Liberalism Liberal-ism Therefore I laugh Now do not understand me t say that the oPicers eject are at all like yellow dogs far from it They are just like men I never Cst odium on the lower animals yet I laugh not at the officers because they evidently have the laugh on the confiding carpetbaggers carpet-baggers who wanted to vote for the yellow yel-low dog or any one else that the dog with the brass collar marked 10000 should designate Now I am laughing at you you who taped through mud and rain who were blinded by red and green lire Roman candles and pretty uniforms out ou-t payers you who could afford to pay largo sums of money t a carpet bagger t dishonestly elect men to office who you now wish were in well wherein there is no ie where-in January You are tho individuals who are the sub ccts of my hilarity You deserve t be laughed at by all men and the yellow yel-low dogs should also laugh but they cant They arc not built that way But let us be serious and examine this subject calmly and see it there is any cause of complaintcit or i you have any luck coming While I laugh at your misery I can see nothing g wrong with the city officials They seem t be all nice honorable men and the seemL L did their part in the campaign You dont Use the grand old carpet bag Liberal party hat is the matter with you You must nave been disappointed in getting a position posi-tion or have you sold yourself for nasty Mormon god Anyone who will not support sup-port the Liberal party should be sent out with the brand ot Cain upon him What mean contemptible man you must be t be sure You should be drummed into the Mormon camn t the tune of the Rogues March You should bo compelled com-pelled to join that unAmerican cornti of priestridden dupes who must vote as the leaders direct or be forever deprived de-prived of the right to do a you please 3 t That you have no right to belong t the party of broad American ideas which for twenty years has been battling for individual in-dividual liberty and to divorce church and state A man who would desert the Liberal Lib-eral party now deserves the contempt of all men Yes certainly You are a subject sub-ject for contempt you low Sanpete sewer digging scrub You never was a Liberal anyway I dont believe What do jou suppose sup-pose you past grand master of sup would th city have been had it not bean for the carpet baggers Why you ungrateful un-grateful fellow dont you know that aliens would have been naturalized just the same as in other places i we had not have had an ass toot judge on the bench He could at a glance see the point and stopped those lawdefying priestridden aliens from becoming be-coming citizens It is said that he at onetime one-time came within of cme one giving a man who had been elected his office There is no use talking he figures close on these problems The fellow was foolish He had no right to be born in Utah Anyway getting there within one is pretty goodfor him Why i it was not Jor the Liberal judges commission governor gov-ernor registrars marshals election judges spies and hired manipulators we would not have been able t have elected men for you to kick at for at least two years to come Think of that Go over to the party which compels their dupes to vote a they direct I will stay with the American can party the libertyloving of cn lbertlorng party progress pro-gress the party that gives every man the right to vote as he pleases 1 would not even associate or speak to such spea men as you are A man who cannot even yot or think without asking tho permission of the church I have no use for A man who will not support the Liberal party should be kicked into the enemies camp by a burro You lank hungry wolf your talk of reform Well that i rich dont you know the Liberal party draws the line at reform It is not reform we want it is change The old villianous unAmerican law defying priestridden party cannot be reformed They cannot be Americans unless they make up their minds t vote for the Liberal candidates Otherwise Liberl cdidats we will have them disfranchised Some of the officers scan not be up in bookkeeping to the standard necessary t keep a deficiency balance without a profit and loss account This lack of business ability is balanced by knowing how to conduct a car on the Rio Grande Western to supply voters for the contingency department depart-ment of his royal nibs You have all kinds of men in office from the highpressure psalms nger to the peephole gambler All classes of men have their representatives in the city government Now where does your kick come in1 I it because they have spent 000000 of your money What nonsense non-sense Did not Brigham Young eat pio I and drink wine and have it charged to the city thirty years aol 0 W Ps speech in the theatre Certainly he did and the od city officers gave several receptions before many of you were born You certainly cer-tainly have no kick on that score What business have you to grumble if these city officials did agree to give you all tho water YOU wanted before they were elected and changed their minds and are giving you more whisky than you ever expected There can certainly be no of crtaily grounds o complaint com-plaint in that I next season is dry cant you all go to the mountain canon on a memo me-mo during the dry weather What isthe x matter now l I see a great many chewing the rag about the taxes Well what if the taxes were raised 300 per cent what does that signify Dont you know that that beggarly little sum of O left in tho treasury by those lawdefying Mormon scoundrels who ate pie at tho citys expense vanished within three months after the election and how do you suppose I that the city expenses couid be paid I unless by Increased taxation Dont find fault on that score It will be doubled next ea and then it will be in order to have a committee t sit and reduce the property valuation at least 1 cent on each 100 I I will use my influence to that end but you have no right t kick now Whats the matter with tho streets The electric rail way companies have a right to put up all the poles and wires they want t Have they not the right from the city t make dead forests in the streets They pay a license dont they Dont drink so often and you can walk through the streets without with-out falling against a pole Teams are not nesessary now we nave street railways in abundance You make mo tired Are not the streets of tho same width they were I It is true commercial street is not paved yet but wait till the sun of summer gets hot enough to melt the home product then if they dont give you a tine street pavement pave-ment why well well well it will probably C prob-ably be as good as it was under priestly unAmerican rule What do you know about grading streets any how Most of you who are mouthing about grading Brigham Brig-ham street would not know a grade stake from a currycomb nor a dump cart from a livery carriage Do you expect you are going t get a man who knows nothing I about a street except to drive lively teams over it t jump right out and grade a street without using money You make mo hungry Suppose it did cost five times as much t grade Brigham streot as it could have been done for by contract whose business i busi-ness is IU Havent we got to educate our officers for their positions and besides who knows how much money was squandered squan-dered by the county officials in days that are gone We have never been able to ge tat t-at the county records Well well that is i 1 the worst yet Do you expect a man whV has all his life sat by a good warm fire in ts osy room and had nothing to do but look bt at his hand Is going to jump out in tho cold and clean out muddy ditches just for fun Vhy you must havoiides like a rhinoceros Suppose it did cost twice a much to clean out part of the ditches a it did to coastrnct all of them at the start did they not have clean earth t work in i I am still laughing and i you dont let up I am afraid I will impair my health There you go again You dont like the fire chief You say he could not extinpiiish a fire fly What do you know about fires anyway Nothing of course you will hereafter You know that he has been east dont you and has seen all that is necessary to be seen l I has not cost so very much to fix hat department up and I think it is safe t predict that if a fire of any magnitude should break out it will not extend beyond the city limits Oh come off save your kicks till I give you a subject You have not established your right as a carpetbagger carpet-bagger t kick Oh you dont like the treasurer Well that is good I know him He is a good fellow and I can assure you if any money gets to his office which is doubtful it will be as safe as i you or I sad it Dont worry yourselves about the money it never remains in his hands long enough for him t lay plans to get away with it and if he did 1 Did not Sheriff Burt pay 1 for policemen to attend an election rft Bingham Well I should say he did You are done I should think It was time Now I will give you a real kick ng subject Look at our city marshal and wash your teeth jump high and kick hard There is a fellow who was mean enough to be born in Utah and had tho gal to be born of Mormon parents and to be educated by Mormon teachers in a Morn mo Mor-n school and if we believe some of the writers of the day could not add a column of figures does not know the direction Now York i from Utah and in fact could not tel l a yellow dog from a Polled Angus heifer This manl say had tho supreme impudence im-pudence t be elected to the office of marshal mar-shal Now you may commence kicking and I am with you I say ho took this office and he was given everything that no desired to make the office a success and the force under him the finest and best in the land I you believe me he was allowed to occupy the old police rooms he allowed polce was alowed a secondhand sec-ondhand desk and one chair and they even gave him possession of the keys t tho rooms and jail After all this he was not satisfied and they gave him the police baoVes Why he seemed to want the earth and the council saw that they must put a stop to his greed or ho would bankrupt they cit the-y They immediatelytookfrom him the contingent fund which amounted in all t at least 18 cents per day I they had not dono this he would no doubt have wanted t po cat t examine the police uniforms or something of that sort The council brought him to reason and now see what an underhanded way he takes to get even He has absolutely refused to let the leaders of the Yellow Dog Carpetbag Liberal party search the prisoners before he goes through them himself Did you L ever know or hear of such ingratitude I dont blame you for kicking at him and in my judgment he should bo should be asked to resign at once Although I laugh sometimes some-times I am proud of our worthy mayor and council knowing they are doing everything every-thing in their power to make their promises prom-ises to the people good They tried to getaway get-away with the dust last summer and did I fairly welL They have got away with the Mormon mud that they found in the street when they took hold of the city government govern-ment and will keep getting away with i t until we have SORe falling weather In fact I believe they will get away with everything in sight before they term o I office expires I still laughS S H GILSOX SAT LAKE Cmr December 26 |
